At PrepCom3, a dramatic last-minute deal drawn up by the EU may mark the end of the US government's control of the internet. In essence, [the EU called for] a new version of the current overseeing body ICANN and an end to the US government's overall control of the DNS. The US was scathing about the proposals, within minutes telling delegates that it "can't in any way allow any changes" that would prevent it from having overall control of the internet. Other countries, like Brazil, China, Iran and Cuba support the proposal. Brazil's ambassador outlined: "It is not a question of being anti-ICANN, it's about having a very clear and open and democratic and inclusive mechanism of overview of certain functions that today are performed by ICANN with no kind of supervision."

Well Mr Anonymous, if you would please login and show yourself
maybe I would have more respect for you, which at the moment I don't. You missed the point totally. I was referring to the people in the EU for one and was commentting on their FINACIAL aid. Since you were so ignorant as not to specify what kind of aid you administered, I could only comment on what I perceived as US bashing jerk.
I LIVE here, and if I come off as defensive about the the city I love, tuff shit. If you were one of the folks rescuing people you receive my whole-hearted thanks.
